A lot of us have homes we spend some time in. Discussions can be about any topic that may be of interest that you can think of... renovations, purchases, expenses, etc, etc

Today's started with attempting to dig out all the burr clover from the front lawn ..... didn't last long before drinks were called fortunately :lol: Margaret's last attempt at getting rid of it resulted in small patches of grass that wasn't killed by the "Zero" magic wand along with lines tracing out where she moved from one patch to the next because the spray nozzle was still going at full tilt ......

Can't wait to find out what tomorrow's fun project will be :roll: I want to send her back to the workshop or she send me to the workshop, that way I can do those jobs I want to do ... like sitting in my comfy chair with steaks in a glass watching the idiot box until I fall asleep ..... sort of a repeat of this afternoon really 8-)

So, are these both the same thing but from different manufacturers? Or is one better than the other?
I think we'll have to wait till the rain is over before we use any of these type products, or are they still effective even if it rains?

The relax and stay away from the workshop suffered a set back today, had to get a replacement Junsi, program it and mail it off. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to load up with gear to do more solar racking on the roof .... if it stops raining long enough, and brought the Hino home so I can catch up on a few jobs on it .... so not all bad 8-)

weed&feed(r) might have similar weedacides (sp?) in it but it also has fertiliser in it.
It is made for the mums in the suburbs & might not be quite as potent.
The one I linked to is full strength & I'd advise to definitely mix as instructed.
It is for broad acre use through big boomsprays. One litre will probably out last you.
Be a little careful if spraying close to vinyards or lucerne crops as the vapour/fumes are known to travel far on hot days.
As for those problem weeds at the workshop .... I'd look into Tordon. That should sterilize the soil for around 7 years!!!
That means complete death to all plants!!

Not sure but I think you cant buy Tordon in QLD without a poison shed complete with surrounding mote to catch any run off, I still have some from before :D Probably the same for 24 D. That would stop mum and dad in suburbia buying it Plus I think a license is required.

Add a little 245T to the Tordon and you have agent orange, great for getting rid of blackberries and stuffing up your immune system.
